Restaurants in Perth

Boasting more restaurants per capita than any other Australian
city, Perth's multi-cultural make-up lends itself to a varied
cuisine and many styles of eateries.

The best place to find a variety of restaurants is in the Perth
CBD, where a selection of funky cafes, pubs and intimate,
world-class restaurants await, ready to tantalise the taste buds.
Northbridge's cultural hub boasts some more exotic options, where
everything from spicy Moroccan fare to the gentle flavours of
Mediterranean cuisine can be found. For great seafood check out the
coastal eateries between Fremantle and Cottesloe, where fresh fish,
plump prawns and breathtaking views over the ocean will sing to all
senses.

Tips are not expected in restaurants in Perth, although it is
becoming more common in expensive restaurants in the bigger
Australian cities to leave some money for good service. Perth has a
reputation for being a bit more expensive than Melbourne and Sydney
when it comes to upmarket, gourmet options, but it is well worth
checking out the sophisticated restaurant scene, which should
delight foodies.

Restaurant Amuse

Run by a husband and wife team, Restaurant Amuse is a great mix
of fine dining and contemporary cuisine. This popular Perth eatery
has received numerous awards and continues to impress guests with
its unique molecular gastronomy. Open Tuesday through to Saturday
with reservations from 7pm.

Friends Restaurant

A sophisticated but friendly restaurant, Friends offers
high-quality modern Australian cuisine, an exceptional wine list,
and spectacular views of the Swan River. The restaurant has won
multiple awards and is sure to impress. It is a great option for
special occasions or a romantic night. Reservations are
recommended.

Halu

For authentic Japanese cuisine that is beautifully presented
visitors to Perth should try Halu. This is not a sushi restaurant
and instead offers an array of traditional Japanese dishes,
although the menu may well include sashimi and sushi options. The
winner of the national Award for Excellence in the Asian category
in 2013, Halu comes highly recommended, but is unpretentious, with
helpful staff and a popular take-away option.
